Ron...

Ron, I have never met you in person but through reading your blog and looking at your work when I saw this pot it immediately made me think of some of the pots you make.  Last night after a great dinner my father and I went on a brief exploration of Delphi and wandered in a store like no other in that small town.  It was cluttered with old Greek antiques including an amazing collection of old Greek pots.  Not old like most of the pots I've been looking at but old like antiques.  The man in the show (who was also quite old) dated most of them somewhere between 50 and 100 years ago.  I was blow away by much of what I saw.  I will post a few pictures of what I found there.  Unfortunately I did not have a way to bring any of these home.  Perhaps another trip...

Fantastic pot! Thanks for thinking of me. It's just so amazing, all the pots out there in the world. Even more amazing that we are making pots that may some day in 100 years or more show up in some 'shop' or be dug up by someone. Good to see all the photos.

Nice pot. They really caught the spirit of a rooster without losing the functionality of the pot. Love the handle too.

Great postings on your trip Alex. I hadn't checked your site for a couple of weeks. Sounds like you guys had a good trip.
